There’s nothing like a trip to memory lane that brings back nostalgic moments from the past.

For Walter Röhrl, a man many regard as the finest rally car driver in history, there may be such a thing as too many memory lanes to choose from. So Autocar did him a great service by picking one particular event his past: the 1984 Rally Monte Carlo.

If you were old enough to have seen it, you’ll probably remember Röhrl winning that race on-board an Audi Quattro->ke2463. What Autocar then decided to do was bring Röhrl back to his scene of conquest 26 years later on with the same race car – the A2 Quattro – and in the same scenic leg of the Rally Monte Carlo – the Col de Turini.

Check out how Röhrl fared this time around and watch first-hand exactly why this man was bestowed the title of Rally Driver of the Century in Italy and

Rally Driver of the Millennium in France.
